Those 2 SEC schools will compete with Oregon, Ohio State and Oklahoma for the elite lineman’s services in 2022 and beyond.
Per the 247Sports composite rankings, Overton was the No. 1 defensive lineman in the class of 2023 and the No. 1 overall recruit from the state of Georgia.
We’ll see where he ends up, but he’ll be a huge late boost for any of those 5 schools’ 2022 classes.
